00:00.000 --> 00:07.000
The Eve Arden Show.

00:07.000 --> 00:16.000
Starring Eve Arden.

00:16.000 --> 00:26.000
Co-starring Alan Jossman.

00:26.000 --> 00:31.000
From Lever House in New York City comes the greatest skin care discovery of our time.

00:31.000 --> 00:33.000
Its name is Dove.

00:33.000 --> 00:39.000
This amazing new bath and toilet bar is actually one quarter cleansing cream.

00:39.000 --> 00:43.000
Every bar of new Dove is one quarter cleansing cream.

00:43.000 --> 00:49.000
Ordinary soap dries your skin, but Dove creams your skin while you wash.

00:49.000 --> 00:51.000
Make this simple test.

00:51.000 --> 00:54.000
Wash one half of your face with soap, any soap.

00:54.000 --> 01:00.000
Rinse thoroughly and then notice how dry your skin feels after using soap.

01:00.000 --> 01:04.000
Now wash the other half of your face with amazing new Dove.

01:04.000 --> 01:07.000
Know after feeling of dryness now.

01:07.000 --> 01:11.000
Your skin has a velvety, just creamed feeling.

01:11.000 --> 01:15.000
That's because Dove creams your skin while you wash.

01:15.000 --> 01:20.000
Lever Brothers guarantees that Dove is better for your skin than any soap or your money back.

01:20.000 --> 01:25.000
Dove creams your skin while you wash.

01:25.000 --> 01:42.000
Music.

01:42.000 --> 01:45.000
Mother! Mother!

01:45.000 --> 01:48.000
Please girls, don't scream like that. Your mother's out shopping.

01:48.000 --> 01:51.000
Grandma, look at this picture.

01:51.000 --> 01:53.000
Where did you get a trashy picture like this?

01:53.000 --> 01:56.000
We took it away from Jonathan Bellows at the candy store.

01:56.000 --> 02:00.000
What is a seven and a half year old boy doing with a picture like this?

02:00.000 --> 02:04.000
And what kind of a girl would pose for a picture like that?

02:04.000 --> 02:08.000
Mother would, that's who.

02:08.000 --> 02:15.000
It's little.

02:15.000 --> 02:18.000
And it's mother's book. And it's mother's picture.

02:18.000 --> 02:24.000
Summer's End. My story by Liza Hammond.

02:24.000 --> 02:32.000
Oh, I'm sorry, but I'm busy tonight and I'll be in the next night too. Thank you very much.

02:32.000 --> 02:34.000
That elevator man.

02:34.000 --> 02:36.000
Liza, I want to talk to you.

02:36.000 --> 02:38.000
So does everyone else in the whole neighborhood.

02:38.000 --> 02:40.000
I think they've gone crazy.

02:40.000 --> 02:41.000
What do you mean?

02:41.000 --> 02:47.000
Well, first Melvin, the vegetable man, threw in several extra heads of lettuce.

02:47.000 --> 02:49.000
And then he winked.

02:49.000 --> 02:53.000
Then Fred, the garage man, complimented me on my chassis.

02:53.000 --> 02:56.000
And he winked.

02:56.000 --> 03:02.000
Then Mr. Schwartz, the butcher, positively leered at me over the calves liver.

03:02.000 --> 03:05.000
I don't understand it.

03:05.000 --> 03:08.000
Girls, I'd like to have a word with your mother.

03:08.000 --> 03:13.000
Can't we stay? I'd like to hear Mother get a talking to from her mother.

03:13.000 --> 03:16.000
Go on girls, and here, take the groceries.

03:16.000 --> 03:19.000
Liza, look at that.

03:19.000 --> 03:21.000
Why, that's my book.

03:21.000 --> 03:23.000
Why, that's me.

03:23.000 --> 03:25.000
But it isn't me.

03:25.000 --> 03:28.000
That's not my sweater.

03:28.000 --> 03:30.000
I never had a white sweater.

03:30.000 --> 03:34.000
And those are not my legs. I'll swear those are not my legs.

03:34.000 --> 03:37.000
Boy, I wish they were my legs.

03:37.000 --> 03:39.000
Why, this whole thing is a fake, Mother.

03:39.000 --> 03:42.000
They put my head on somebody else's legs.

03:42.000 --> 03:44.000
Oh.

03:44.000 --> 03:46.000
Oh, you'd better get it, Mother.

03:46.000 --> 03:50.000
Mr. Schwartz threatened to deliver the calves liver personally.

03:55.000 --> 03:57.000
Oh, George, come in.

03:57.000 --> 03:59.000
Hello, Nora.

03:59.000 --> 04:02.000
George, that is not my picture.

04:02.000 --> 04:04.000
They always claim that.

04:04.000 --> 04:07.000
Liza, you ought to wear that white sweater more often.

04:07.000 --> 04:10.000
George, I intend to issue a public denial.

04:10.000 --> 04:12.000
I'm sorry, but it's just not me.

04:12.000 --> 04:15.000
I'm terribly sorry it's not me.

04:15.000 --> 04:18.000
You're not denying anything.

04:18.000 --> 04:21.000
We're cashing in on that picture, no matter who it is.

04:21.000 --> 04:25.000
Liza, I've been trying to build a relationship with you.

04:25.000 --> 04:30.000
No matter who it is. Liza, I've been trying to build you up as a lecturer

04:30.000 --> 04:32.000
for the George Howell Lecture Bureau.

04:32.000 --> 04:38.000
Now, so far, your public's been limited to ladies' auxiliaries and garden clubs.

04:38.000 --> 04:40.000
Now you've got a whole new audience.

04:40.000 --> 04:44.000
I've already had calls from the Cattlemen's Convention

04:44.000 --> 04:47.000
and the West Side Boxing Club.

04:47.000 --> 04:51.000
Well, they're not interested in me. Send them the picture.

04:51.000 --> 04:53.000
Oh, that picture.

04:53.000 --> 04:57.000
Would Liza autograph a copy for me? Just the top part.

04:57.000 --> 04:59.000
Oh, George.

05:01.000 --> 05:05.000
Brewster Publishing Company. Let me speak to Mr. Brewster.

05:05.000 --> 05:07.000
Mr. Brewster, this is Liza Hammond.

05:07.000 --> 05:11.000
I've just seen the paperback copy of my novel, and I am appalled.

05:11.000 --> 05:15.000
I want you to take it out of circulation right away.

05:15.000 --> 05:17.000
You what?

05:17.000 --> 05:21.000
If things aren't bad enough, I'm going to be cheesecake from coast to coast.

05:21.000 --> 05:24.000
He just sent out 100,000 more copies.

05:24.000 --> 05:26.000
And if I don't contract, you can't stop them.

05:26.000 --> 05:29.000
Oh, that dirty little fine print.

05:31.000 --> 05:34.000
You what? You'd like me to...

05:34.000 --> 05:36.000
Well, who is David Ferris?

05:36.000 --> 05:39.000
What has your old army buddy got to do with me?

05:39.000 --> 05:42.000
Besides, I never accept a blind date.

05:42.000 --> 05:46.000
Well, introduce him to the other half of the picture.

05:46.000 --> 05:48.000
I cannot stop him.

05:48.000 --> 05:50.000
Mr. Ferris or Mr. Brewster?

05:50.000 --> 05:55.000
Mr. Ferris is his old army buddy who saw my picture and wants to meet me.

05:55.000 --> 05:56.000
Oh, this is ridiculous.

05:56.000 --> 06:02.000
Why is it ridiculous? Mr. Brewster's a very nice man, and I'm sure his old army buddy is too.

06:02.000 --> 06:06.000
Old army buddies don't go on dates. They go on maneuvers.

06:09.000 --> 06:12.000
I don't think you should go on a blind date.

06:12.000 --> 06:14.000
It wouldn't be fair. He saw the picture.

06:14.000 --> 06:18.000
He's expecting an exciting, glamorous, sophisticated femme fatale.

06:18.000 --> 06:20.000
And you wouldn't want to disappoint him.

06:20.000 --> 06:23.000
That's right. When he finds out what you're really like, he'll...

06:27.000 --> 06:32.000
Go on. Or did your mother teach you never to talk with a mouth full of foot?

06:34.000 --> 06:36.000
Laura, please, tell her what I mean.

06:36.000 --> 06:38.000
Well, he means that you're intelligent.

06:38.000 --> 06:40.000
Yes, you have a wonderful personality.

06:40.000 --> 06:42.000
And an interesting literary style.

06:42.000 --> 06:44.000
A fine grasp of current events.

06:44.000 --> 06:46.000
In other words, I'm a square.

06:46.000 --> 06:49.000
Oh, Liza, we all love you, but let's face it.

06:49.000 --> 06:52.000
You've turned into a girl who wears sensible shoes.

06:52.000 --> 06:54.000
Sensible shoes? I don't...

06:56.000 --> 06:59.000
Well, at least I don't wear service-weight stockings.

07:00.000 --> 07:02.000
All right, so they're not the sheerest.

07:02.000 --> 07:04.000
Liza, I didn't mean...

07:04.000 --> 07:06.000
I know exactly what you mean.

07:06.000 --> 07:08.000
You think I'm too dreary to interest a man.

07:08.000 --> 07:11.000
Well, let me tell you something, George Howell.

07:11.000 --> 07:16.000
I've had all sorts of exciting and sophisticated men pleading with me for dates.

07:16.000 --> 07:18.000
In fact, I've been turning them down all day.

07:19.000 --> 07:21.000
That's right. Melvin, the vegetable man.

07:23.000 --> 07:25.000
The garage man and Mr. Schwartz.

07:25.000 --> 07:26.000
Mother, who comes?

07:27.000 --> 07:30.000
I'm not really worried about your accepting blind dates.

07:31.000 --> 07:36.000
You have a psychological block which intercepts all stimuli on a romantic level.

07:36.000 --> 07:37.000
Meaning what?

07:37.000 --> 07:40.000
Meaning you're chicken.

07:41.000 --> 07:42.000
I'm chicken, am I?

07:42.000 --> 07:46.000
Well, just for that, I'm going to take him up on that blind date.

07:47.000 --> 07:49.000
I'll show you who's chicken.

07:50.000 --> 07:55.000
My feathers may be ruffled, and I may be squawking a little, but I am not chicken.

07:56.000 --> 07:59.000
Hello, this is Liza Hammond. May I speak to Mr. Rooster?

07:59.000 --> 08:01.000
Hello, this is Mr. Rooster.

08:06.000 --> 08:08.000
Oh, mommy!

08:08.000 --> 08:09.000
Oh, Liza!

08:10.000 --> 08:13.000
Boy, you look sensational!

08:13.000 --> 08:15.000
Maybe I'd better go back in and change.

08:16.000 --> 08:18.000
But here you look lovely.

08:19.000 --> 08:21.000
What's that perfume you're wearing?

08:21.000 --> 08:25.000
Oh, it's something new I bought this afternoon. It's called Sincerely Yours.

08:25.000 --> 08:29.000
You buy it in the stationery store?

08:29.000 --> 08:31.000
Why don't you use some of my Ecstatic Embrace?

08:32.000 --> 08:34.000
Ecstatic Embrace? My mother!

08:34.000 --> 08:37.000
Or how about some of our Sudden Love?

08:37.000 --> 08:38.000
Sudden Love?

08:38.000 --> 08:42.000
Sure, we made it out of rose petals and vanilla extract.

08:43.000 --> 08:45.000
That ought to attract the boys.

08:45.000 --> 08:48.000
Say nothing of the bees and the flies.

08:49.000 --> 08:51.000
What time is Mr. Ferris calling for you?

08:51.000 --> 08:52.000
Oh, he isn't.

08:52.000 --> 08:56.000
I said I'd meet him downtown at the Silver Fox restaurant at 8.30.

08:56.000 --> 08:59.000
Oh, for heaven's sakes, why didn't you have him meet you here?

08:59.000 --> 09:02.000
Well, I wanted to drive my own car, that's why.

09:02.000 --> 09:08.000
I talk pretty big when I let George insult me into making this date, but let's face it, mother.

09:08.000 --> 09:12.000
A man who wants to meet a woman from a cheesecake photograph has got to be a wolf.

09:12.000 --> 09:16.000
And have you ever watched a pack of wolves devour cheesecake?

09:18.000 --> 09:20.000
But how are you going to recognize him?

09:20.000 --> 09:23.000
Oh, I won't have to. He'll recognize me from my photograph.

09:24.000 --> 09:26.000
Well, it won't be easy with all those clothes on.

09:28.000 --> 09:30.000
All right, mother, that's enough.

09:30.000 --> 09:33.000
Well, goodbye all.

09:33.000 --> 09:35.000
Oh, goodbye, dear, have a lovely time.

09:35.000 --> 09:36.000
Thanks.

09:36.000 --> 09:37.000
Goodbye, Jenny.

09:37.000 --> 09:39.000
Bye, mom, have fun.

09:39.000 --> 09:40.000
Thanks.

09:40.000 --> 09:41.000
Goodbye, Mary.

09:41.000 --> 09:43.000
Goodbye, mother, have a good time.

09:43.000 --> 09:44.000
Thank you.

09:44.000 --> 09:50.000
Well, I'll be home in time for the 10 o'clock news.

09:50.000 --> 09:52.000
Oh, mother, are my seams straight?

09:52.000 --> 09:56.000
Yes, they're fine, dear, they're fine. Now, goodbye.

09:56.000 --> 10:00.000
Oh, Liza, you're behaving like a schoolgirl on her first date.

10:00.000 --> 10:04.000
George is right. You're chicken. You're a square chicken.

10:04.000 --> 10:11.000
That does it.

10:35.000 --> 10:37.000
I'll have your table in a moment.

10:44.000 --> 10:45.000
I beg your pardon.

10:45.000 --> 10:46.000
Good evening, ma'am.

10:46.000 --> 10:47.000
You seem...

10:47.000 --> 10:49.000
Well, aren't you Liza Hammond?

10:49.000 --> 10:50.000
Yes, that's right.

10:50.000 --> 10:52.000
Oh, I thought so. I bought your book.

10:52.000 --> 10:54.000
Oh, did you enjoy it?

10:54.000 --> 10:57.000
Oh, very much. And I haven't even got past the cover.

10:57.000 --> 10:59.000
Oh, I'm sorry.

10:59.000 --> 11:04.000
Well, it's not really meant to be read. It's more of a pin-up book.

11:04.000 --> 11:06.000
Say, isn't that Liza Hammond, the writer?

11:06.000 --> 11:08.000
I don't think so.

11:08.000 --> 11:11.000
Of course it is. I saw her picture.

11:11.000 --> 11:14.000
But she looks so harmless.

11:14.000 --> 11:18.000
I'm going to get her autograph.

11:18.000 --> 11:20.000
Uh, Miss Hammond?

11:20.000 --> 11:22.000
Oh, I'm so glad you're here.

11:22.000 --> 11:24.000
I'm so glad you're here.

11:24.000 --> 11:26.000
I'm so glad you're here.

11:26.000 --> 11:29.000
Uh, Miss Hammond?

11:29.000 --> 11:31.000
Oh, I'm so glad you're here.

11:31.000 --> 11:33.000
I recognize you right away from your picture.

11:33.000 --> 11:35.000
Oh, from my picture?

11:35.000 --> 11:37.000
Well, just forget that.

11:37.000 --> 11:41.000
After all, cheesecake is only skin deep, you know.

11:41.000 --> 11:43.000
Table for two, sir.

11:43.000 --> 11:46.000
Why, yes, but I was told there'd be at least a half hour wait.

11:46.000 --> 11:48.000
Oh, not for any friend of Liza Hammond.

11:48.000 --> 11:50.000
That is wonderful.

11:50.000 --> 11:52.000
He means right in here.

11:52.000 --> 11:54.000
You're a monster.

11:54.000 --> 11:56.000
There must be some mistake.

11:56.000 --> 11:57.000
Oh, no, there's no mistake.

11:57.000 --> 12:01.000
He's giving us a table because he read my picture, too.

12:01.000 --> 12:03.000
No, really, you see, I, uh...

12:03.000 --> 12:04.000
Couldn't we just sit down over here?

12:04.000 --> 12:05.000
Eugene!

12:05.000 --> 12:07.000
What do you think you're doing?

12:07.000 --> 12:08.000
I beg your pardon?

12:08.000 --> 12:10.000
What are you doing with my husband?

12:10.000 --> 12:12.000
Your husband?

12:12.000 --> 12:13.000
You're married.

12:13.000 --> 12:14.000
How dare you?

12:14.000 --> 12:16.000
How dare you ask me out to dinner?

12:16.000 --> 12:18.000
I didn't ask you out to dinner.

12:18.000 --> 12:20.000
I just wanted your autograph.

12:20.000 --> 12:25.000
Couldn't you just scribble your name without playing a big fat love scene?

12:25.000 --> 12:27.000
Come, Eugene!

12:33.000 --> 12:35.000
I'm so sorry, Miss Hammond.

12:35.000 --> 12:36.000
Oh, it's all right.

12:36.000 --> 12:38.000
Would you mind letting me out of the arena?

12:38.000 --> 12:41.000
I've decided not to fight the bull.

12:45.000 --> 12:46.000
Excuse me.

12:46.000 --> 12:48.000
I beg your pardon, but you are Liza Hammond, aren't you?

12:48.000 --> 12:50.000
I'm David Ferris.

12:50.000 --> 12:52.000
I recognized you right away from your picture.

12:52.000 --> 12:53.000
Oh, you did?

12:53.000 --> 12:54.000
Yes.

12:53.000 --> 12:54.000
You did?

12:54.000 --> 12:56.000
Oh, you're David Ferris!

12:56.000 --> 12:57.000
Oh, hello, Mr. Ferris.

12:57.000 --> 12:58.000
How do you do?

12:58.000 --> 13:00.000
It was nice of you to accept my invitation to dinner.

13:00.000 --> 13:02.000
Oh, I'm delighted.

13:02.000 --> 13:03.000
Shall we go in?

13:03.000 --> 13:04.000
Yes.

13:04.000 --> 13:05.000
Right.

13:05.000 --> 13:10.000
Now that we've met, may I say I find you even more attractive than your photograph?

13:10.000 --> 13:12.000
Oh, thank you.

13:12.000 --> 13:13.000
Would you mind putting that in writing?

13:13.000 --> 13:16.000
I'd like to show it to a couple of skeptics.

13:16.000 --> 13:18.000
With pleasure.

13:18.000 --> 13:19.000
After dinner.

13:19.000 --> 13:22.000
They say the cheesecake here is wonderful.

13:31.000 --> 13:32.000
Oh, hello, George.

13:32.000 --> 13:33.000
Come in.

13:33.000 --> 13:34.000
Hello, Nora.

13:34.000 --> 13:35.000
Oh, how lovely.

13:35.000 --> 13:39.000
Yes, there's nothing like a single red rose to cheer up a woman.

13:39.000 --> 13:41.000
Why does Liza need cheering up?

13:41.000 --> 13:44.000
Well, she must have had a miserable time last night.

13:44.000 --> 13:45.000
Where is she?

13:45.000 --> 13:47.000
She's still sleeping.

13:47.000 --> 13:48.000
But it's almost noon.

13:48.000 --> 13:50.000
She's usually at her typewriter by nine.

13:50.000 --> 13:51.000
Is she ill?

13:51.000 --> 13:54.000
Well, she didn't get in until after four.

13:54.000 --> 13:55.000
Four?

13:55.000 --> 13:56.000
A.M.?

13:56.000 --> 13:59.000
Well, she has a speech to write before next week.

13:59.000 --> 14:02.000
She can't sleep through these working hours.

14:02.000 --> 14:03.000
Is that the doorbell, Mother?

14:03.000 --> 14:04.000
Oh, hi, George.

14:04.000 --> 14:05.000
Hello, Liza.

14:05.000 --> 14:08.000
Look, Liza, these roses came for you a few minutes ago.

14:08.000 --> 14:09.000
Oh, how lovely.

14:09.000 --> 14:11.000
Did you send them, George?

14:11.000 --> 14:15.000
Is there a card?

14:15.000 --> 14:16.000
Yes, there is.

14:16.000 --> 14:17.000
No, I didn't.

14:22.000 --> 14:23.000
Oh, how sweet.

14:23.000 --> 14:25.000
It's from David Ferris.

14:25.000 --> 14:26.000
I'll put them in the vase.

14:26.000 --> 14:28.000
Thank you, Mother.

14:28.000 --> 14:30.000
Liza, you've got work to do.

14:30.000 --> 14:32.000
What were you doing out until four?

14:32.000 --> 14:35.000
Oh, having the most wonderful evening I remember in years.

14:35.000 --> 14:38.000
Dinner, soft music, you know.

14:38.000 --> 14:39.000
No, I don't know.

14:39.000 --> 14:43.000
From eight until four, that's a lot of dinner and soft music.

14:43.000 --> 14:46.000
Well, we saw a wonderful floor show first.

14:46.000 --> 14:49.000
I watched the show, David watched me.

14:49.000 --> 14:50.000
David?

14:50.000 --> 14:51.000
Oh, you mean Mr. Ferris?

14:51.000 --> 14:52.000
Ferris.

14:52.000 --> 14:53.000
All right, all right.

14:53.000 --> 14:55.000
So you were the glamour girl of Manhattan.

14:55.000 --> 14:56.000
Get dressed.

14:56.000 --> 14:59.000
We're due right now at the Washington Heights Nature Club.

14:59.000 --> 15:00.000
Who is?

15:00.000 --> 15:02.000
Mr. Wicks wants to have lunch with you.

15:02.000 --> 15:05.000
Well, David asked me first, and I accepted.

15:05.000 --> 15:06.000
I'm meeting him downtown.

15:06.000 --> 15:09.000
Is he trying to make a production out of a casual meeting?

15:09.000 --> 15:12.000
Who said it was casual except you?

15:12.000 --> 15:15.000
Look, Liza, the man saw your picture.

15:15.000 --> 15:19.000
He took you to dinner, he had some cocktails and spent the evening.

15:19.000 --> 15:21.000
Then he realized you weren't the girl in the picture,

15:21.000 --> 15:22.000
and that was the end of it.

15:22.000 --> 15:24.000
On to Washington Heights.

15:24.000 --> 15:27.000
No, that wasn't the end of it at four o'clock this morning.

15:27.000 --> 15:31.000
I had to shut the door in David's face in an awful hurry.

15:31.000 --> 15:32.000
Oh?

15:32.000 --> 15:35.000
Well, if he was so interested, he'd be picking you up here.

15:35.000 --> 15:37.000
Oh, let's face it, Liza.

15:37.000 --> 15:39.000
Finish. Over. The end.

15:39.000 --> 15:41.000
Washington Heights.

15:41.000 --> 15:42.000
Let's face it.

15:42.000 --> 15:43.000
Just beginning.

15:43.000 --> 15:46.000
Going on right now, lunch with David.

15:46.000 --> 15:47.000
All right.

15:47.000 --> 15:48.000
Forget about your career.

15:48.000 --> 15:50.000
Go have lunch with him.

15:50.000 --> 15:52.000
Wait a minute.

15:52.000 --> 15:53.000
You're meeting him...

15:53.000 --> 15:55.000
You're meeting him downtown.

15:55.000 --> 15:56.000
Uh-huh.

15:56.000 --> 15:58.000
Well, that explains a lot.

15:58.000 --> 16:02.000
He isn't coming to the house because you're afraid he might run into your family.

16:02.000 --> 16:05.000
Liza, tell me, does he know that your mother lives with you?

16:05.000 --> 16:08.000
Does he know you have two 13-year-old daughters?

16:08.000 --> 16:12.000
He doesn't even know I have a George.

16:12.000 --> 16:18.000
Well, if you'll pardon me, I'll slip into something divine for David.

16:18.000 --> 16:21.000
Isn't it nice to see Liza so happy?

16:21.000 --> 16:22.000
Yeah.

16:22.000 --> 16:29.000
You know, this Ferris fellow strikes me as the type who'd get bald very young.

16:29.000 --> 16:32.000
George, I think you're jealous.

16:32.000 --> 16:33.000
No, I'm not.

16:33.000 --> 16:35.000
Just don't want her to be hurt, that's all.

16:35.000 --> 16:38.000
When Ferris finds out she has a family, he'll run like a thief.

16:38.000 --> 16:40.000
How would you know that?

16:40.000 --> 16:43.000
I used to be a pretty fair sprinter myself.

16:43.000 --> 16:52.000
Hello.

16:52.000 --> 16:54.000
Oh, who is this?

16:54.000 --> 16:57.000
Why, hello, Mr. Ferris.

16:57.000 --> 17:01.000
Oh, George Howell, an old family friend of Liza's.

17:01.000 --> 17:03.000
She's dressing.

17:03.000 --> 17:08.000
She wanted me to ask you if you'd mind picking her up here.

17:08.000 --> 17:09.000
You wouldn't?

17:09.000 --> 17:11.000
Oh, that's fine.

17:11.000 --> 17:12.000
All right.

17:12.000 --> 17:16.000
Goodbye, Mr. Ferris.

17:16.000 --> 17:18.000
I mean, goodbye.

17:18.000 --> 17:20.000
George, was that the phone?

17:20.000 --> 17:21.000
Yes, it was Mr. Ferris.

17:21.000 --> 17:22.000
He can't meet you downtown.

17:22.000 --> 17:23.000
He'll pick you up here.

17:23.000 --> 17:24.000
Oh.

17:24.000 --> 17:26.000
Now, Liza, where are the girls?

17:26.000 --> 17:29.000
They're down the hall at Betty McKee's apartment.

17:29.000 --> 17:31.000
Betty has a hi-fi and two brothers.

17:31.000 --> 17:36.000
To Mary and Jenny, that's catnip.

17:36.000 --> 17:39.000
Betty McKee, Betty McKee.

17:39.000 --> 18:01.000
I'll get them up here and then we'll see.

18:01.000 --> 18:02.000
Oh, hello.

18:02.000 --> 18:03.000
I'm David Ferris.

18:03.000 --> 18:04.000
Is Miss Hammond here?

18:04.000 --> 18:05.000
Oh, she'll be ready in a minute.

18:05.000 --> 18:06.000
Come in, come in.

18:06.000 --> 18:08.000
Thank you.

18:08.000 --> 18:11.000
I'm George Howell, head of the Howell Lecture Bureau.

18:11.000 --> 18:13.000
Oh, yes, I talked to you on the telephone.

18:13.000 --> 18:15.000
You're Miss Hammond's old friend.

18:15.000 --> 18:19.000
Yes, and you're Mr. Brewster's old, old friend.

18:19.000 --> 18:22.000
Well, not that old, please.

18:22.000 --> 18:25.000
Liza's told all of us about you.

18:25.000 --> 18:27.000
All of us?

18:27.000 --> 18:28.000
Yes.

18:28.000 --> 18:29.000
Oh, I forgot.

18:29.000 --> 18:32.000
You haven't met the rest of our large group.

18:32.000 --> 18:35.000
Well, I was under the impression that Liza lived alone.

18:35.000 --> 18:37.000
Liza lived alone?

18:37.000 --> 18:39.000
Oh, no.

18:39.000 --> 18:40.000
Nora!

18:40.000 --> 18:41.000
Yes?

18:41.000 --> 18:43.000
What is it, George?

18:43.000 --> 18:44.000
Oh.

18:44.000 --> 18:48.000
Nora, Nora, I'd like to present Mrs. Martin.

18:48.000 --> 18:49.000
How do you do?

18:49.000 --> 18:50.000
Liza's mother.

18:50.000 --> 18:52.000
Nora is Mr. Ferris.

18:52.000 --> 18:56.000
Oh, you're not at all like a blind date.

18:56.000 --> 18:57.000
George, you're wrong.

18:57.000 --> 19:01.000
He's got a lovely head of hair.

19:01.000 --> 19:03.000
So, you're Liza's mother?

19:03.000 --> 19:04.000
Mm-hmm.

19:04.000 --> 19:09.000
I was married very young.

19:09.000 --> 19:13.000
Mother lives with Liza.

19:13.000 --> 19:16.000
Yes, after Liza became a widow six years ago,

19:16.000 --> 19:18.000
I dropped in for a weekend.

19:18.000 --> 19:21.000
I liked it.

19:21.000 --> 19:24.000
Oh, so Liza's a widow.

19:24.000 --> 19:26.000
Do you think David will like this, Mother?

19:26.000 --> 19:27.000
David will love it.

19:27.000 --> 19:28.000
Hello, David.

19:28.000 --> 19:29.000
Hello, Liza.

19:29.000 --> 19:32.000
It was nice of you to ask me to drop by.

19:32.000 --> 19:33.000
I did.

19:33.000 --> 19:35.000
Well, your friend, Mr. Howell,

19:35.000 --> 19:37.000
was kind enough to convey the message.

19:37.000 --> 19:38.000
Oh, how sweet.

19:38.000 --> 19:41.000
I try to be helpful.

19:41.000 --> 19:42.000
I think your mother's charming.

19:42.000 --> 19:44.000
And I like your friend, Mr. Howell.

19:44.000 --> 19:48.000
Oh, Mr. Howell, may I call you George?

19:48.000 --> 19:49.000
Oh, of course.

19:49.000 --> 19:50.000
George?

19:50.000 --> 19:51.000
Yes, Liza?

19:51.000 --> 19:55.000
May I call you Mr. Howell?

19:55.000 --> 19:57.000
Well, Liza, I think we'd better be going.

19:57.000 --> 19:58.000
I have a reservation for lunch.

19:58.000 --> 19:59.000
Oh.

19:59.000 --> 20:01.000
Oh, please don't go just yet.

20:01.000 --> 20:02.000
Why not?

20:02.000 --> 20:05.000
Well, somebody unexpected might drop in.

20:05.000 --> 20:07.000
Somebody like who?

20:07.000 --> 20:09.000
How would I know if they're unexpected?

20:09.000 --> 20:11.000
No, I think I understand.

20:11.000 --> 20:14.000
George has arranged for my twins to drop in.

20:14.000 --> 20:16.000
Well, they might stop by.

20:16.000 --> 20:18.000
Everybody wanted to meet David.

20:18.000 --> 20:19.000
Your twins?

20:19.000 --> 20:22.000
Mary and Jenny, age 13.

20:22.000 --> 20:23.000
I'd like to meet them.

20:23.000 --> 20:25.000
Well, I'd love you to, David.

20:25.000 --> 20:27.000
In fact, if George hadn't beaten me to it,

20:27.000 --> 20:29.000
I was going to tell you about the family at lunch.

20:29.000 --> 20:34.000
Well, you have no idea how expensive 13-year-old girls are.

20:34.000 --> 20:36.000
True.

20:36.000 --> 20:38.000
Music lessons and dancing?

20:38.000 --> 20:41.000
Yes, party dresses, summer camps.

20:41.000 --> 20:44.000
Toothpaste, laundry, food.

20:44.000 --> 20:46.000
I'm beginning to get the idea.

20:46.000 --> 20:49.000
Well, David, now that George has completed his expose,

20:49.000 --> 20:50.000
shall we go?

20:50.000 --> 20:51.000
I think we'd better.

20:51.000 --> 20:52.000
Goodbye.

20:52.000 --> 20:55.000
Oh, I'll see you again, Mrs. Martin.

20:55.000 --> 20:57.000
Drop in any time, even if Liza isn't here.

20:57.000 --> 20:59.000
We can have a cup of coffee.

20:59.000 --> 21:00.000
Oh, thank you.

21:00.000 --> 21:01.000
That would be very nice.

21:01.000 --> 21:03.000
Goodbye.

21:03.000 --> 21:06.000
Mr. Howell, what did you say you were the head of?

21:06.000 --> 21:09.000
A information bureau?

21:09.000 --> 21:12.000
A lecture bureau.

21:12.000 --> 21:15.000
Mother, the girls may have dinner at Betty McKee's.

21:15.000 --> 21:18.000
Oh, and if I'm late, you fix yourself something.

21:18.000 --> 21:20.000
George, if you get hungry...

21:20.000 --> 21:21.000
Yes, Liza?

21:21.000 --> 21:25.000
Have Mother fry some of that nice egg that's on your face.

21:25.000 --> 21:35.000
Music

21:35.000 --> 21:36.000
It's half past four.

21:36.000 --> 21:38.000
What kind of lunch is this?

21:38.000 --> 21:40.000
You know, this never would have happened

21:40.000 --> 21:42.000
if it wasn't for that silly-looking picture.

21:42.000 --> 21:44.000
Well, don't let it bother you, George.

21:44.000 --> 21:47.000
You won't have to spend much time with Mr. Ferris.

21:47.000 --> 21:50.000
He certainly can't be serious about her.

21:50.000 --> 21:52.000
Well, not on such short acquaintance.

21:52.000 --> 21:55.000
Still, I should have gone along with them.

21:55.000 --> 21:59.000
Oh, I don't think you'd like a punch in the nose, George.

21:59.000 --> 22:00.000
From that character?

22:00.000 --> 22:04.000
From Liza.

22:04.000 --> 22:05.000
Hello, Mother.

22:05.000 --> 22:06.000
Hi, George.

22:06.000 --> 22:07.000
Liza.

22:07.000 --> 22:09.000
Girls.

22:09.000 --> 22:12.000
Now that you've descended to Earth again,

22:12.000 --> 22:15.000
tell us about your trip to the moon.

22:15.000 --> 22:17.000
Oh, I didn't go to the moon.

22:17.000 --> 22:19.000
Instead, I went to Saks Fifth Avenue

22:19.000 --> 22:24.000
and bought myself the sharpest pair of lounging pajamas I could find.

22:24.000 --> 22:25.000
Oh, Mommy!

22:25.000 --> 22:26.000
Those are neat!

22:26.000 --> 22:28.000
Liza, take them in my room, will you?

22:28.000 --> 22:31.000
And please don't try them on.

22:31.000 --> 22:33.000
Liza, what happened?

22:33.000 --> 22:35.000
Well, first David bought some champagne.

22:35.000 --> 22:37.000
As a farewell gesture?

22:37.000 --> 22:39.000
No, to celebrate.

22:39.000 --> 22:41.000
And then he asked me to marry him.

22:41.000 --> 22:45.000
The cad.

22:45.000 --> 22:47.000
Liza!

22:47.000 --> 22:52.000
Mother, how'd you like to have a big, fancy apartment on Park Avenue?

22:52.000 --> 22:54.000
Oh, I think we could be happy anywhere, dear.

22:54.000 --> 22:56.000
Not we, you.

22:56.000 --> 22:59.000
David thinks you ought to have a place of your own.

22:59.000 --> 23:00.000
Oh.

23:00.000 --> 23:02.000
Well, that's very generous of him.

23:02.000 --> 23:08.000
How do you think the girls would like going to boarding school in Switzerland?

23:08.000 --> 23:10.000
Switzerland?

23:10.000 --> 23:13.000
Well, he's given us a great deal of fraud, hasn't he?

23:13.000 --> 23:16.000
George, do you think you could arrange me some bookings?

23:16.000 --> 23:19.000
In Europe and South America?

23:19.000 --> 23:21.000
Europe? South America?

23:21.000 --> 23:23.000
Well, David wants to travel.

23:23.000 --> 23:26.000
Well, if that's what you want, Liza, I guess I can.

23:26.000 --> 23:28.000
My contacts are worldwide.

23:28.000 --> 23:36.000
I always try to accommodate all my clients, no matter how ungrateful she may be.

23:36.000 --> 23:38.000
I turned him down.

23:38.000 --> 23:39.000
You...

23:39.000 --> 23:40.000
What did you say?

23:40.000 --> 23:42.000
I said I turned him down.

23:42.000 --> 23:46.000
What's the good of having a family if you're going to spread it all over the globe?

23:46.000 --> 23:49.000
Well, I hope you didn't turn him down just because of...

23:49.000 --> 23:52.000
us.

23:52.000 --> 23:53.000
Oh, no.

23:53.000 --> 23:56.000
David wanted to marry the perpetual glamour girl.

23:56.000 --> 24:00.000
I have sensible shoes, a mother, and two children,

24:00.000 --> 24:02.000
and they're all pretty well broken in.

24:02.000 --> 24:04.000
Oh, and of course, one other little thing.

24:04.000 --> 24:06.000
I wasn't in love with him.

24:06.000 --> 24:09.000
So I said, no thank you.

24:09.000 --> 24:11.000
Oh, Liza, you turned him down.

24:11.000 --> 24:15.000
How wonderful for your ego.

24:15.000 --> 24:20.000
Well, I guess I'll go and see how the girls look in those lounging pajamas.

24:20.000 --> 24:28.000
Oh, Mother, if you're thinking of trying them on, be careful of the seams, dear.

24:28.000 --> 24:30.000
You know something, Liza?

24:30.000 --> 24:33.000
You're beginning to look more and more like that picture.

24:33.000 --> 24:36.000
Well, I'm a slow developer.

24:36.000 --> 24:38.000
I'll pick you up at eight for dinner.

24:38.000 --> 24:40.000
Business conference?

24:40.000 --> 24:42.000
Not necessarily.

24:42.000 --> 24:44.000
Oh, George.

24:44.000 --> 24:49.000
Well, I think I'll go and start getting ready right now.

24:49.000 --> 24:54.000
Oh, and George, call the Cattlemen's Convention and the West Side Boxing Club.

24:54.000 --> 24:57.000
I'm available.

24:57.000 --> 25:01.000
And now a word from our alternate sponsor, Sholton.

25:01.000 --> 25:04.000
Here's a little shaver watching a big shaver shave.

25:04.000 --> 25:07.000
He's just marking time till he can shave like Dad does.

25:07.000 --> 25:13.000
That's Old Spice Smooth Shave Dabs using in the new foolproof pressurized container.

25:13.000 --> 25:16.000
You just press a button and out comes rich, velvety lather.

25:16.000 --> 25:19.000
Ah, does that Old Spice smell nice?

25:19.000 --> 25:22.000
Just look at that fine, full foam.

25:22.000 --> 25:24.000
Here's what it does for you.

25:24.000 --> 25:27.000
Softens that sensitive skin, moistens that stubborn beard.

25:27.000 --> 25:30.000
Just watch that razor glide along.

25:30.000 --> 25:31.000
No pull or drag.

25:31.000 --> 25:34.000
Even the toughest whiskers become weak and willing.

25:34.000 --> 25:39.000
In just a few minutes, you've got the cleanest, smoothest shave ever.

25:39.000 --> 25:43.000
That's Old Spice Smooth Shave by Sholton, only $1.

25:43.000 --> 25:47.000
Or try new formula Old Spice Lather Shaving Cream, $0.65.

25:47.000 --> 25:51.000
Or new formula Old Spice Brushless Shaving Cream, $0.60.

25:51.000 --> 25:53.000
Shave any way you choose.

25:53.000 --> 26:01.000
As long as it's a shave by Sholton, you get shaving pleasure beyond measure.

26:01.000 --> 26:10.000
♪♪

26:10.000 --> 26:11.000
Get the light.

26:11.000 --> 26:12.000
Okay.

26:12.000 --> 26:15.000
We're ready now, Mother!

26:15.000 --> 26:17.000
Mmm.

26:17.000 --> 26:20.000
Oh!

26:20.000 --> 26:21.000
Now, what's all this?

26:21.000 --> 26:24.000
This'll make you look even more glamorous.

26:24.000 --> 26:26.000
Oh, how sweet.

26:26.000 --> 26:27.000
Here, have a cigarette.

26:27.000 --> 26:29.000
Oh, thank you, dear, but I don't use a holder.

26:29.000 --> 26:30.000
Try it anyway.

26:30.000 --> 26:31.000
Casually.

26:31.000 --> 26:34.000
Casually.

26:34.000 --> 26:36.000
Like this?

26:36.000 --> 26:37.000
Now, what else?

26:37.000 --> 26:42.000
Now, if you'll just lie back and put your feet up, because it's almost 8 o'clock.

26:42.000 --> 26:43.000
What happens at 8 o'clock?

26:43.000 --> 26:45.000
I turn into a pumpkin?

26:45.000 --> 26:47.000
At 8 o'clock, Betty McKee's brothers are coming over.

26:47.000 --> 26:49.000
And so is little Jonathan Bellows.

26:49.000 --> 26:50.000
Oh, how nice.

26:50.000 --> 26:53.000
And you want me sitting here like this?

26:53.000 --> 26:56.000
Sure, we're charging them a comic book apiece to look at you.

26:56.000 --> 27:00.000
Oh!

27:00.000 --> 27:02.000
A comic book apiece.

27:02.000 --> 27:04.000
Well, how do you like that?

27:04.000 --> 27:06.000
And I'm using my own legs.

27:06.000 --> 27:08.000
Oh!
